If you guys haven’t noticed, the poster didn’t saying anything about getting a job in the financial world or anything of the sort. All he/she wanted to know was about getting a job post graduation that might be lucrative. I would argue that a liberal arts major (i.e. english, history, etc) could land a good job in management consulting. Yes, again, traditionally the candidate should come from an ivy (rolls eyes) (if they want to work at Bain or McKinsey) but there are some management consulting firms which hire people with such backgrounds due to the fact they can critically think instead of simply just churning out a payout model.

Again, I would stress for most people who go into liberal arts as a major your best bet in terms of getting a more lucrative job is getting that graduate degree as ultimately your B.A. is not REALLY worth the paper its written upon.
